Biblical: For the first time all biblical texts are accessible in one place, allowing searches through high resolution photographs of the ancient fragments, and texts derived from the fragments in Masoretic order (Bible books), as well as providing English translations and full transcriptions of the Hebrew Scripture, over 200 in total. It also provides a general introduction, an introduction to the translation with bibliography, an inventory of additional details such as photographs and provenance for each fragment, an index of manuscripts, and an index of images. Non-Biblical: contains high-resolution images of the Non-Biblical Dead Sea Scroll fragments and all the texts, in the original languages and in translation. It enables content searching using a sophisticated inventory, and examining finer details of the original texts through search options and zoom possibilities for the images.
